FOR MANY BUSINESSES hit hard during the pandemic, SaaS was the knight in shining armour. SaaS, which stands for software-as-a-service, cloud-based with its infrastructure has revolutionised business operations in the past few years.
According to a report by Bessemer Venture Partners, a venture capital firm specialising in technology-led companies, India's SaaS market is on course to surpass $50 billion in annual recurring revenue (ARR)-projected earnings by way of subscriptions by 2030.
SaaS represents a form of cloud computing where companies offer clients access to application software while managing all underlying physical and software resources. This model not only streamlines operations but also reduces costs and increases scaleability for businesses. How is it different from plain-vanilla software?
